WELCOME BACK!

How did you welcome back your students this year??

The Lone Media Specialist

I came across this article in an email from the NEA this morning...

We are so lucky to have one another and a district that understands and supports libraries, and their importance in the educational process.  Read all about her HERE.

It's that time once again...

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Hope you've all had a spectacular summer!  

What fun things are you planning for your libraries this year?  Please share, and if you have any photos send those to me so we can post them here on the blog.  Thanks, and have a great year!

Are you ready for our Alexandria Training??  I know Sue is, and she's EXCITED!  Actually we were too after our training meeting today!  The new version has some wonderful new additions.  Before your training, make sure you have downloaded the demo, available by clicking the link below.

This week at Cascade...

Last week we learned a little about poetry, where it is in the Library, and read a few out loud. This week, I wanted to review some of the fairy tales, and what better way to do that than to read Betsy Red Hoodie by Gail Carson Levine! Gail takes several fairy-tales/nursery rhymes and weaves them together for a very cute story. After we read the story, the students see if they can identify the different tales that were in the story. It's been great fun so far!

This book resides in the PIC section of our Library, but we also are reviewing where in our Library the students can find fairy-tales. Non-fiction, 398
